Could you share an hour a week with Joko?
Joko lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Joko, who's 76. Joko lives alone in Makassar, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away.
Joko loves opera, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person.
All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity.
No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Umar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Cox's Bazar.
Wishing you peace, Umar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Lviv
Thanks for sharing this, Umar. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. After 22 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Makassar
